Place this heating pad under your oil or transmission pan to keep the fluid from thickening in the winter. Warm fluids lubricate better for a long-lasting, well-functioning machine. Measures 5" long x 4" wide. Has a grounded 3-prong plug.

Possible Applications
This flexible heater is designed for use on oil or transmission pans, but it can also be used to heat hydraulic and water tanks. The size of the pan or tank that this heater should be used on is determined by the wattage of the heater. This 250-watt heating pad gives you the best results with oil pans that are up to 20 quarts and tanks that are up to 20 gallons in size (see application details above).

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Kat's Heaters oil or transmission pan heating pad. Now this heating pad is going to let you warm your oil or transmission fluid for better lubrication in the winter. And as you probably know, warm transmission fluid allows for smoother gear shifting, and warm oil gives you better lubrication for a longer lasting, better functioning engine. While we're here, let me give you some measurements just so you have a good idea of the size of this pad.
So as you can see, we're five inches long and four inches wide. And this flexible heater is designed for use on your oil or your transmission pan, and the size of the pan or tank that this heater should be used on is determined by the wattage of the heater. This is a 250 watt heating pad. So this is going to give you the best results there with the pans and the tanks that you see there on your screen. As you can see, the possible applications for this heater, it's gonna be an eight- to 20-quart engine oil pan, a 10- to 20-gallon diesel tank, a 10- to 20-gallon hydraulic tank, or a four- to seven-gallon water tank.
So you have those possible applications there that this pad is going to work with. This pad is made here in the USA, and it does resist oil and acid with this silicone cover. It is also CSA-approved, and this is going to simply attach to the underside of your vehicle's oil or transmission pan. With the 3M tape, you're just going to pull this film back to expose that 3M adhesion, and then this is going to plug into your 120-volt outlet with the three-prong plug. And this cord is about five feet long, and instructions are also included.
That's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

The blockoil pan heater is used sporadically to heat the oil in our house generator when necessary. We are satisfied with the function of both products thus far. Thanks for reaching out.

The pan heater is going strong. The 2003 VW TDI does not offer any solutions to warming up the engine so I chose to do the pan heater over cutting into the cooling system. I would do it again!

This item works great. I dont have to drain my RV water heater in the winter. Just apply it to the tank and it prevents freezing.

It should be, Robert. This isn't a super complicated install or anything like that. Stick it on and you are good to go! Where are you located? Always curious about that when people buy these kinds of things.
